The Company said the Annual Report could not betimely filed because management requires additional time to compileand verify the data required to be included in the report. According to the Company, the report will be filed within fifteencalendar days of the date the original report was due.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, and the period fromAug. 25, 2014 (inception) to March 31, 2015, the Company realizedno revenue. The Company anticipates that during the fiscal yearended March 31, 2016, total operating expenses will have increasedapproximately 258% compared to the period from inception to March31, 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to increases inprofessional fees and general and administrative fees ofapproximately 131% and 545%, respectively, due to the acquisitionof FFIN Securities, Inc., and FFIN's efforts to seek licensure tooperate as a U.S. securities broker dealer, and to complete theacquisitions of Investment Company Freedom Finance LLC, and thesecurities brokerage and financial services business conducted byit in Russia, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Freedom Finance JSC,and the securities brokerage and financial services businessconducted by it in Kazakhstan, and FFINEU Investments Limited andthe securities brokerage and financial services business conductedby it in Cyprus.

Because the Company realized only expenses during the fiscal yearended March 31, 2016, and the period from inception to March 31,2015, it expects to realize a loss from operations during thefiscal year ended March 31, 2016, of approximately $496,000 and netloss of approximately $494,000 compared to a loss from operationsof approximately $138,000 and a net loss of approximately $139,000during the period from inception to March 31, 2015.

The Debtor wants to employ Mr. Baker under a general retainerbecause of the extensive legal services required by theDebtor-in-Possession.

Caesars casinoresorts operate under the Caesars, Bally's, Flamingo, GrandCasinos, Hilton and Paris brand names. The Company has itscorporate headquarters in Las Vegas. Harrah's announced itsre-branding to Caesar's in mid-November 2010.

In January 2015, Caesars Entertainment and subsidiary CaesarsEntertainment Operating Company, Inc., announced that holders ofmore than 60% of claims in respect of CEOC's 11.25% senior securednotes due 2017, CEOC's 8.5% senior secured notes due 2020 andCEOC's 9% senior secured notes due 2020 have signed the Amended andRestated Restructuring Support and Forbearance Agreement, dated asof Dec. 31, 2014, among Caesars Entertainment, CEOC and theConsenting Creditors. As a result, The RSA became effectivepursuant to its terms as of Jan. 9, 2015.

The Complaint states that the Pemex Receivables "arises from thePurchase and Sale Agreement by and among Cal Dive OffshoreContractors, Inc., Affiliated Marine Contractors, Inc. and Arendal,S. de R.L. de C.V. dated as of July 23, 2015," which requires that"after certain liabilities to specified vendors for work performedfor Petroleos Mexicanos were satisfied, all remaining PemexReceivables were to be turned over to Cal Dive as they werecollected, less fees to Arendal on certain collections specified inthe PSA." Before closing the PSA, Cal Dive and Arendal agreed toenter into the Amendment on November 24, 2015, which transferredcertain licenses to Arendal and added a provision to the PSAaddressing a limited Value Added Tax issue. Cal Dive expected thatthe VAT payment metric of the Amendment would yield a benefit tothe Debtors of an additional $1 million.

The Debtors assert that the Pemex Liabilities were satisfied inMarch and April 2016, but instead of transferring the funds as theyare contractually obligated to do, the Defendants recentlycontrived the position that Arendal is entitled to withhold allsuch funds pending the results of a tax audit for which Cal Divehad expressly disclaimed any liability and that should already havebeen resolved by the Defendants.

The Debtors also assert that the Defendants have already collectedapproximately $2.5 million in Pemex Receivables and that theDefendants will also collect an additional $8 million in PemexReceivables before the end of June 2016.

Although Arendal recently offered to place the Pemex Receivablesinto an escrow account pending resolution of the tax audit inquestion, the Debtors relate that this offer is entirely untenablebecause:

(a) Arendal has conditioned the offer on Cal Dive agreeing thatthe disputed tax liabilities could be satisfied with PemexReceivables, a concession that would have been wholly at odds withPlaintiffs’ contractual rights under the PSA.

(b) Arendal’s offer would apply to all Pemex Receivablescollected going forward, even though the potential Audit exposurerepresents only a portion of the Receivables that Arendal and Hocwill collect, and Arendal and Hoc have no conceivable legal basisto retain these excess Receivables.

(c) Arendal refuses to use the escrow agreement and escrowaccount to which the parties have already agreed.

"I try to write regularly with the news going on within yourcompany. Our news is good. The recent vote of the UK to exit theEuropean Union has sent global markets in a tizzy. Yet it alsoillustrates one of the most interesting characteristics of GeniusBrands International and the business of making animated cartoons,"wrote Andy Heyward Chairman & CEO of Genius Brands.

"Our business isn't really affected if Britain leaves or stayswithin the EU. Our business really doesn't depend on the price ofoil. Nor will it go up or down if Kim Jung Un launches a newmissile in the Sea of Japan. The business of making animatedcartoons won't be affected whether Hillary Clinton or Donald Trumpis elected our next President. Changes in technology or newdistribution systems only enrich the intrinsic value of animatedcartoons. Strong cartoon characters don't go obsolete and are notdiminished by innovation. In fact, they are enhanced by it."

Elliott Davis Decosimo, LLC, in Columbia, South Carolina, issued a"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financialstatements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, citing that theCompany has suffered recurring losses that have eroded regulatorycapital ratios and the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, HorryCounty State Bank, is under a regulatory Consent Order with theFederal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) that requires, amongother provisions, capital ratios to be maintained at certainlevels. As of December 31, 2015, the Company's subsidiary isconsidered significantly undercapitalized based on its regulatorycapital levels. These considerations raise substantial doubt aboutthe Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Companyalso has deferred interest payments on its junior subordinateddebentures for 20 consecutive quarters as of December 31, 2015. Under the terms of the debentures, the Company may defer paymentsfor up to 20 consecutive quarters without creating a default. Payment for the 20th quarterly interest deferral period was due inMarch 2016. The Company failed to pay the deferred and compoundedinterest at the end of the deferral period, and the trustees of thecorresponding trusts, have the right, after any applicable graceperiod, to exercise various remedies, including demanding immediatepayment in full of the entire outstanding principal amount of thedebentures. The balance of the debentures and accrued interest asof December 31, 2015 were $6,186,000 and $901,000, respectively. These events also raise substantial doubt about the Company'sability to continue as a going concern as of Dec. 31, 2015.

The company said its offshore debt restructuring plan was approvedby requisite majority of creditors at scheme meetings held bycourts in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands on May 20, 2016. Kaisasaid holders of 96 percent of its offshore obligations, which arefrom outside of China, support the restructuring agreementnegotiated in the Hong Kong proceeding.

KAISA GROUP: Recognition of Hong Kong Scheme Sought---------------------------------------------------Dr. Tam Lai Ling, foreign representative of the debtor Kaisa GroupHoldings Ltd., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the SouthernDistrict of New York to recognize the terms of Kaisa's scheme ofarrangement.

"The Hong Kong Scheme provides for a restructuring in which Kaisa'screditors holding 'offshore' claims arising out of debt issued bynon-PRC entities under non-PRC law— the Scheme Claims—will berestructured. The Scheme Claims consist of Existing HY Notes,Convertible Bonds, and Existing Offshore Loans... New York lawgoverns both (i) the Existing HY Notes and (ii) an 'IntercreditorAgreement' providing that the holders of the Existing HY Notes, theConvertible Bonds and certain Existing Offshore Loans have equalpriority in respect of, and a pro rata entitlement to, specifiedsecurity interests," the Foreign Representative Contends.

The Hong Kong Scheme contemplates a restructuring in which theExisting HY Notes, Convertible Bonds, and Existing Offshore Loansare combined into a single class for voting purposes, with eachparticipating holder entitled to select among the following threeoptions:

(a) Option 1 – New HY Notes and CVRs: A combination of (i)new notes ("New HY Notes")30 issued at an exchange rate of 1:1 withnew principal amounts, new maturity dates, and new interest couponschedules; and (ii) contingent value rights ("CVRs"), providingupside sharing in the event that one or more specified triggerevents occur.

(b) Option 2 – New HY Notes Only: New HY Notes issued at anexchange rate of 1:1.02598 with new principal amounts, new maturitydates, and new interest coupon schedules; or

The Foreign Representative tells the Court that the consummation ofthe Hong Kong Scheme and Scheme Releases will have, among othersthe following effects:

(a) all Scheme Claims will be cancelled upon issuance of theScheme Instruments;

(b) Scheme Creditors will be deemed to have entered into, and bebound by, among others, the definitive restructuring agreementsgiving effect to the terms of the Hong Kong Scheme ("RestructuringDocuments");

(c) Scheme Creditors holding Existing HY Notes, the ConvertibleBonds and certain of the Existing Offshore Loans currently have thebenefit of certain guarantees provided by some of Kaisa'ssubsidiaries ("Subsidiary Guarantors"). Those Scheme Creditorsalso separately have the benefit of certain share pledges whichbenefit is to be pari passu under the Intercreditor Agreement with,among others, Kaisa and certain of Kaisa's subsidiaries("Subsidiary Guarantor Pledgors"). As part of the Hong KongScheme, each relevant trustee will enter into an "Amended andRestated Intercreditor Agreement," pursuant to which the securitywill be shared for the benefit of all Scheme Creditors on a paripassu basis;

(d) the Scheme Claims will be released and discharged fully andabsolutely upon the issuance of the Scheme Instruments; and

(e) The Debtor and Debtor Related Parties shall also be releasedunconditionally from possible claims arising from the Scheme Claims("Scheme Releases").

"Recognizing and enforcing the Hong Kong Scheme and the Hong KongSanction Order could thus not upset the principles of fairnessunder U.S. law and, indeed, would further the key policyconsiderations of comity and recognition of a foreign court'sinsolvency powers where procedural fairness is evident. In theabsence of any public policy concerns, the Requested Relief must begranted on the basis of comity and Bankruptcy Code section1509(b)(3)," the Foreign Representative avers.

The Foreign Representative's Motion is scheduled for hearing onJuly 14, 2016 at 11:30 a.m. The deadline for the filing ofobjections to the Foreign Representative's Motion is set on July 8, 2016 at 5:00 p.m.

SAMSON RESOURCES: Seeks September Plan Hearing Amid Objections--------------------------------------------------------------Samson Resources Corporation and its affiliated debtors submittedto the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware asupplemental motion seeking to amend certain dates and deadlines inconnection with the prosecution and confirmation of their Chapter11 Plan.

"Despite the Debtors' efforts to create consensus among allstakeholders, certain parties have indicated objections to the Plan(including as it may be amended), and there can be no certaintythat these issues will be resolved through further discussions. Accordingly, by this motion, the Debtors request approval of anamended confirmation schedule through a confirmation hearing inlate September 2016. By September -- barring a negotiatedsettlement -- all parties will have had a full and fair opportunityto prepare for Plan-related litigation and present their positionsfor adjudication by the Court," the Debtors contend.

The Debtors anticipate the following potential objections, amongothers, to their Plan:

(a) the validity of liens and claims held by the First LienLenders and the Second Lien Lenders;

(b) the value of the Debtors' businesses, now and at the timeof the Debtors' 2011 Acquisition and at the time of the issuance ofthe Second Lien Term Loan;

(c) the First Lien Lenders' and Second Lien Lenders'entitlement to adequate protection; and

(d) the propriety of the releases provided under the Plan andthe sufficiency of the consideration provided therefor.

The Plan contemplates an exchange of First Lien Claims for newfirst lien debt (including commitments under a new reserve-basedrevolving credit facility), Cash (including proceeds from AssetSales, if any), and new common equity.

In a subsequent filing, the Creditors Committee submitted a motionin court seeking the termination of the Debtors' exclusivityperiods to file, and solicit acceptances for that, a Chapter 11plan. As reported in the May 26, 2016 edition of The TroubledCompany Reporter, the Committee claimed that "the Debtors' AmendedPlan on file represents a no win choice for unsecured creditors:vote for the plan and get less than one would in a Chapter 7liquidation; fight the plan and either get nothing or end up sixmonths down the road with no plan and administrative expensesrunning out of control."

(a) the FTI Brazil Professionals' assistance to assess the needsof the SFX Brazil Entities' operations, coordinate with theDebtors' lenders to obtain any necessary credit support for the SFXBrazil Entities, develop business plan alternatives, and

SYNCARDIA SYSTEMS: Files for Bankruptcy After Failed IPO--------------------------------------------------------SynCardia Systems, Inc., a medical technology company, filed avoluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code monthsafter a failed launch of an initial public offering of theCompany's common stock which resulted in a liquidity shortfall.

SynCardia, a privately-held company with global headquarters andmanufacturing in Tucson, Arizona, is focused on developing,manufacturing and commercializing the SynCardia temporary TotalArtificial Heart, or TAH-t, an implantable system designed toassume the full function of a failed human heart in patientssuffering from advanced heart failure.

As disclosed in Court filings, SynCardia has averaged approximately141 implants annually since 2012. SynCardia patients currently useone of three Driver types: Circulatory Support System (CSS)Console, also known as Big Blue, Companion 2 or Freedom. TheDriver is what powers and pumps the heart. SynCardia's customersinclude hospitals, surgical centers and mechanical circulatorysupport programs across the United States, Canada, Europe,Australia and Saudi Arabia. The Debtor has approximately 67 fulltime employees.

For the year ending December 2015, the Debtor generated revenues ofapproximately $16.8 million and adjusted EBITDA loss ofapproximately $12.7 million. Through May 31, 2016, the Debtor hadrevenues of $7.1 million, which represented a 6% overall decreaseover the comparable period in the prior year, according to Courtdocuments.

As of the Petition Date, the Debtor has outstanding debt obligationin the aggregate of approximately $48 million, consisting primarilyof (a) $22 million in secured debt under its Amended and RestatedFirst Lien Credit Agreement, (b) $14.5 million under itsprepetition subordinated notes, and (c) approximately $11.5 millionof accrued and unpaid interest and amounts owed on account tovendors and other unsecured creditors.

In December 2015, the Debtor missed an interest payment and hasentered into forbearance agreements with the predecessor-in-interest to its current senior secured agent, Sindex SSI Lending,LLC. The Debtor has also fallen behind on certain of its tradeobligations.

Last year, SynCardia attempted the IPO but decided to withdraw itfollowing the FDA's public communication to transplant surgeons andcardiologists stating that preliminary information suggested ahigher mortality rate for the subgroup of patients using theCompanion 2 Driver System as compared to Big Blue. The letter hadnegative effects on centers as well as the Company's potentialinvestors, said Stephen Marotta, SynCardia's chief restructuringofficer.

In consultation with its professionals and after carefulexamination by the Debtor's board of directors, the Debtordetermined that Chapter 11 would provide the necessary tools tomaximize asset value recovery to its creditors. The Debtor saidits liquidity mandates an expedited sale process under Chapter 11.

With the assistance of its advisors, the Debtor marketed itsbusiness prepetition, but was unable to secure an offer fromoutside of its capital structure. The Debtor has, however,received an offer to purchase its business, for a combination of$150,000 in cash and a partial credit bid of $19,000,000, plusamounts owing under the debtor-in- possession financing facilityand the assumption of certain liabilities from Sindex. The Debtorintends to solicit higher and better offers than the Staking HorseBid.

On July 1, 2016, SynCardia entered into a stalking horse assetpurchase agreement and a debtor-in-possession financing agreementwith Sindex. Both the APA and DIP Agreement are contingent onmilestones that, among other things, includes having a bidprocedures hearing scheduled within 26 days of the Petition Dateand having the Court consider the sale of the Debtor's businesswithin 51 days of the Petition Date.

The Debtor believes the transactions afforded by the APA offers thebest value for its assets and has the greatest chance of continuingto service existing and future patients that rely on its artificialhearts.

"A sale of the Debtor's assets will enable the Debtor's business tocontinue to operate as a going concern, retain its customer baseand the subsequent services to individuals whose lives depend onthe Debtor's continued business, and avoid an erosion of customerand vendor confidence that could result from a protracted chapter11 process," said Mr. Marotta.

The case is pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Districtof Delaware, Case No. 16-11599.

Contemporaneously with the petition, the Debtor has filed variousfirst day motions seeking authority to, among other things, obtainpostpetition financing, use cash collateral, prohibit utilityproviders from discontinuing services, pay prepetition obligationsto customers, use existing cash management system and pay employeeobligations.

VERTELLUS SPECIALTIES: Creditors Object to Bid Procedures Motion----------------------------------------------------------------The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors submitted to the U.S.Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, their objection toVertellus Specialties Inc., et al.'s bid procedures motion.

The Creditors Committee cites, among others, these reasons fortheir objection:

(1) The Debtors have proposed an expedited sales process,including milestones for the occurrence of certain events and a biddeadline at the worst possible time in the middle of August. Thereis no compelling reason to impose a rushed August 15th biddeadline, when a more appropriate deadline a few weeks later inSeptember would assure the Court and other stakeholders in thecases that there has been sufficient time allowed for other biddersto be able to formulate and submit their bids.

(2) The Debtors have asked the Court to approve an exorbitantBreak-Up Fee of more than $13.6 million to be awarded to theirPrepetition Term Lenders under the guise that they need enticementto become the stalking horse bidder and submit a credit bid fortheir collateral at 73% of the face amount of their secured debt.Essentially, the Debtors are asking the Court to approve a Break-UpFee on what is tantamount to a secured creditor submitting aforeclosure bid on its collateral. Awarding an existing securedcreditor an eight figure breakup fee simply for the privilege ofsubmitting a credit bid is unprecedented, and would turn on itshead the whole purpose and reasoning behind a bankruptcy courtawarding a breakup fee in the first place.

(3) The Debtors have proposed handing a blank check to theStalking Horse Purchaser for Expense Reimbursement. The Debtorshave presented no legal precedent for providing unlimited expensereimbursement, and the practice of the courts in this district hasalways been to place a cap on reasonable expense reimbursements.

(4) The Debtors have proposed allowing the Stalking HorsePurchaser to credit bid the full amount of the purchase price toacquire the Purchased Assets despite the fact that the PurchasedAssets improperly include valuable unencumbered assets, that arenot part of their collateral. Such credit bidding is improper andwould effectively expand the scope of the Prepetition Term Lender'sliens, thereby depriving the Debtors' general unsecured creditorsof the value of those unencumbered assets.

(5) The Stalking Horse Purchaser is provided with consultationrights at various stages in the marketing and auction process dueto the fact that it is the Debtors' Prepetition Term Lenders andDIP Lenders. While lenders typically have consultation rights,that is wholly inappropriate where, as here, the lender is anactive bidder.

Vertellus Specialties' Reply to Objection

"All of the prospective bidders are aware of the timelines requiredby the proposed Bidding Procedures, and no party has expressed anyconcern regarding any 'fast-track' sale timeline, nor that the saleprocess may occur during late August. The Committee's assertionsthat the sale process is proceeding too quickly and during the'worst possible time' are, therefore, unfounded... the Debtors,Stalking Horse Purchaser and DIP Lenders engaged in extensivenegotiations with respect to expense reimbursements proposed to theStalking Horse Purchaser and DIP Lenders, the required deposit forqualified bidders, the backstop premium payable to certain DIPLenders, and other fees described in the Bidding Procedures and DIPCredit Agreement. As an initial matter, the Debtors' agreement toprovide these protections to the Stalking Horse Purchaser,Prepetition Lenders and DIP Lenders is supported by the fact thatthese expenses are provided for in the Prepetition Credit Agreementand DIP Credit Agreement. Indeed it is likely that such fees,whether couched as Expense Reimbursement as part of the saleprocess or expenses incurred to enforce their prepetition claimsand liens are a proper expense of which they are entitledreimbursement... the Committee raises concerns over the StalkingHorse Purchaser's ability to apply its credit bid rights towardassets on which it does not have a lien. This is not the intentionof the Debtors nor, to their knowledge, the Stalking HorsePurchaser. The Debtors are willing clarify this in the relevantorders as necessary to address the Committee's concerns... Theproposed Bidding Procedures in this case provide for nothingunusual with respect to the Stalking Horse Purchaser's consultationrights, do not constrict the ability of the Debtors to exercisetheir reasonable business judgment, and further provide for an openand fair review and selection of Qualified Bidders," the Debtorsargue.

Lenders Group and Stalking Horse Respond

The Ad Hoc Group of Lenders under the prepetition Term LoanAgreement and the DIP Facility and the proposed Stalking HorsePurchaser ("Term Loan Lenders") assert that the bidding procedures,working in tandem with the DIP Facility, properly balance the riskof value degradation with the goal of maximizing creditorrecoveries. They further assert that the sale process and timelinereflected in the Bidding Procedures and the funding made availableunder the DIP Facility necessarily comprise a "package deal". TheTerm Loan Lenders add that without the funding, there would be nosale process and without the sale process and the returns itpromises, there could be no funding.

The Term Loan Lenders argue that the Stalking Horse Purchaser is nodifferent that any other stalking horse bidder, that it hasconferred the requisite benefits on the Debtors, and that it shouldbe afforded the bid protections on which its stalking horse bid ispredicated.

"The Term Loan Lenders do not take issue with the Committee'scontention that they cannot exercise their credit bid rights topurchase 'assets on which they do not have a lien.'... However,entirely without merit are the Committee's parallel arguments that(a) there is a known pool of 'unencumbered assets' as to whichcredit bidding is currently prohibited; and (b) if any assets aredetermined to be unencumbered, such assets can only be purchased bythe Term Loan Lenders with cash... In fact, the full pool ofunencumbered assets will only be determined after the Committeecompletes its Challenge Period investigation, which must beconcluded within sixty days of the Committee's appointment (i.e.,on or before August 8, 2016)," the Term Loan Lenders aver.

Vertellus Specialties Inc. is a global specialty chemicals companyfocused on the manufacture of ingredients used in pharmaceuticals,personal care, nutrition, agriculture, and a host of other marketareas affected by trends favoring "green" technologies andchemistries.

The Debtors estimated their assets at between $100 million and $500million and debt between $500 million and $1 billion.

The petitions were signed by Anne Frye, vice president, secretaryand general counsel.

VERTELLUS SPECIALTIES: Creditors Object to DIP Motion-----------------------------------------------------The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors submitted to the U.S.Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, its limitedobjection to Vertellus Specialties Inc., et al.'s motion asking theBankruptcy Court for authorization to obtain postpetition securedfinancing.

The Committee relates that while it does not object to the DIPFacility in general, there are specific provisions of the DIPCredit Agreement and/or the Interim Order, which, if continued intothe Final Order, would improperly benefit the Prepetition SecuredParties/DIP Secured Parties at the expense of the Debtors' estatesand their other creditors.

The Creditors Committee contends that several provisions in the DIPCredit Agreement and/or the Interim Order are neither reasonablenor "standard and customary" and would, if continued into the FinalOrder, improperly benefit the Prepetition Secured Parties and/orthe DIP Secured Parties to the detriment of general unsecuredcreditors of the Debtors' estates.

The Creditors Committee enumerates these provisions, among others,and its reasons as to why such provisions are unreasonable andimproper:

(a) The Prepayment Penalty: The Prepayment Penalty is simplyunreasonable when viewed in light of the facts and circumstances ofthe cases. The purpose of the DIP Facility is to permit theDebtors to maintain their operations while the Chapter 11 saleprocess for their assets plays out. The Prepayment Fee, however,is completely with odds with that process and severely restrictsthe Debtors' ability to pursue sale and/or financing alternativesshould they arise in the sale process.

(b) The Backstop Premium: The Initial Lenders should only beentitled to a Backstop Fee on the amounts backstopped in excess oftheir own commitment to fund the DIP Facility.

(c) Payment of Fees and Expenses: To the extent that a SecuredParty seeks reimbursement of fees and expenses associated with thepurchase of the Debtors' assets, such reimbursement must not bepaid pursuant to the DIP Credit Agreement. Rather, any fees andexpenses sought to be reimbursed in connection with the sale of theDebtors' assets should only be reimbursed within a specific cappursuant to a separate order of the Court approving such bidprotections and only if they are not the successful bidder.

"The numerous sale-related milestones in the DIP Credit Agreement,which, if not adhered to, constitute a default... provide the DIPLenders with unreasonable control over the sales process... The DIPCredit Agreement attempts to grant DIP Lenders liens andsuperpriority claims on all unencumbered assets including, but notlimited to, Avoidance Actions and any proceeds or propertyrecovered pursuant to Avoidance Actions... However, a grant ofliens to the DIP Lenders on Avoidance Actions is inconsistent withthe intent behind avoidance actions, which is to allow thedebtor-in-possession to recover certain payments on behalf of allcreditors... The Interim Order requires any Challenge to beasserted by the Committee within 60 days following the FormationDate... The proposed Challenge Period for the Committee isinsufficient to enable the Committee to undertake a thoroughinvestigation of the Debtors' complex capital structure, especiallywith respect to foreign assets. Rather, the Committee asserts thata period of one hundred twenty days at minimum, not thesignificantly shortened period as proposed, is a reasonable periodof time for the Committee to undertake its investigation,particularly given the complexity and size of these cases and themany pending motions and events which require the Committee'sattention at this early stage of the proceedings," the OfficialCommittee avers.

Vertellus Replies to Objection

"The Debtors, Stalking Horse Purchaser and DIP Lenders engaged inextensive negotiations with respect to expense reimbursementsproposed to the Stalking Horse Purchaser and DIP Lenders, therequired deposit for qualified bidders, the backstop premiumpayable to certain DIP Lenders, and other fees described in theBidding Procedures and DIP Credit Agreement. As an initial matter,the Debtors' agreement to provide these protections to the StalkingHorse Purchaser, Prepetition Lenders and DIP Lenders is supportedby the fact that these expenses are provided for in the PrepetitionCredit Agreement and DIP Credit Agreement... The Debtors, in theirbusiness judgment, have determined that these terms are in the bestinterest of the Debtors and their creditors, and will ultimatelylead to a robust auction and sale process... contrary to theassertions in the Committee's DIP Objection, the Ad Hoc Group did,in fact, backstop the entire $110 million DIP Facility and hasfunded the entire amount of the Commitment as of the Closing Dateof the DIP Loan. The Ad Hoc Group has borne the entire risk of thePayoff of the ABL Obligations and the other Prepetition Lendersassuming a portion of the Commitment. The backstop premiumprovided in the DIP Credit Agreement is protection and compensationfor the Ad Hoc Group which took on this risk and in light of all ofthe fees charged under the DIP Credit Agreement is notunreasonable... the prepayment penalty provided for the DIP CreditAgreement is a standard business term in this context to provide aworthwhile return to the DIP Lenders. The Debtors understand thatthe DIP Lenders will agree that the prepayment penalty will notapply so long as the proposed sale schedule and milestones remainin place," the Debtors contend.

Ad Hoc Lenders Group and Buyer Respond

"Without citing any compelling legal authority, the Committeeargues that the Court should not permit the Debtors to grant lienson, or superpriority claims with respect to, unencumbered assets,including the Avoidance Actions and their proceeds.... TheCommittee's argument is without merit and should be overruled...Notwithstanding the Committee's protestations, there is noprohibition under the Bankruptcy Code or relevant case law ongranting postpetition liens on unencumbered assets or avoidanceactions or the proceeds thereof. Indeed, the fallacy of theCommittee's argument is plain, not the least because the BankruptcyCode expressly authorizes the granting of liens on unencumberedassets under section 364(c)(2)... Contentions to the contrarynotwithstanding, the Committee does not require any more time,funding, or consent rights to fulfill its statutory mandate inthese Chapter 11 Cases... the Committee seeks to extend theduration of the Challenge Period and increase the amount of itsinvestigation budget. Neither request is warranted because this isnot a debtor with a complex capital structure or the fundingcapacity for a longer process. On the Petition Date only thePrepetition ABL Facility and the Prepetition Term Loan Facilitywere outstanding, a perfection review of which can be completed inmatter of weeks. The Debtors and the Term Loan Lenders areprepared to cooperate fully with the Committee to facilitate thetimely conclusion of its investigation and, if it is so concluded,no additional funding will be required to undertake these efforts,"the Ad Hoc Group and proposed Stalking Horse Purchaser aver.
